Mayor Buttigieg has directed South Bend's police chief to order officers to keep their body cameras on at all times while interacting with the public after a fatal shooting last weekend.
Speaking at a swearing-in ceremony on Wednesday for new South Bend Police Department officers, Buttigieg urged transparency and accountability from the department and lamented how the shooting could set back efforts the city had made in recent years in building trust with communities of color.
"I stand before you saddened and concerned because we've spent years working to build trust between city leaders, public safety officers and the community that we were all charged to serve. And now those same relationships that we have worked to build are in jeopardy," he said. "We cannot pretend this is unrelated to race," he said."In our past and our present, we have innumerable moments in which racial injustice came at the hands of those trusted with being instruments of justice, and this fact burdens everyone, all of us.
